Golden anniversary
for happy couple
A COUPLE who moved to Barnsley 21 years ago celebrated their golden wedding with about 120 friends
and family on Friday.
Jack, 73, and Mary, 69, Staunton, of Coronation
Street, Monk Bretton, worked for Lyons Bakery, Carlton,
and came to Barnsley in 1974 when the plant was
opened.
“I was a supervisor on despatch,” said Jack. “I worked
with them 41 years, 21 in Barnsley. My wife worked
with them too and moving to Barnsley was the best
thing we ever did. It’s a terrific place to live and we
have a terrific amount of friends.”
Jack, born in Kilkenny, met Mary when he lived in
London. They are members of Monk Bretton Working
Men’s Club and West Green Club where Mary is on the
darts’ team. Jack also fishes for trout at Scout Dike
reservoir, Ingbirchworth.

BOY’S SEED TURNS
INTO GIANT BLOOM
SCHOOL boy Thomas Hartley helped his
granddad plant two sunflowers seeds —
then watched in amazement as one of them
kept growing.
One plant grew to about 6ft then died but the other
has reached 10ft and is still going strong. As well as
towering over Thomas, eight, and his granddad
George Burke, 73, of Napier Mount, Ward Green, it
has 12 flower heads with more to bloom.
Grandma Maureen Burke, 68, said Burton Road
Primary pupil Thomas, of Brettas Park, Monk
Bretton, loved gardening. “He put two sunflowers in.
They just planted the seeds in the ground against the
fence and one’s gone up to 10ft and is still going.

MEET DOROTHY,
STAR OF SHOW
BY KATIA HARSTON
EVERYONE wants to know about
Dorothy...the owl that is.
Geoff Mottram, who runs Thurlstone
Owl Sanctuary, has been inundated with
calls asking whether his popular barn
owl will be making an appearance at this
year’s Penistone Show.
Geoff, 75, and his wife Margaret said
they have about 52 owls in their care at
the sanctuary on Manchester Road but
people seem to have a special interest in
the old owl he calls Dorothy.
“We’ve been getting loads of people

ringing up and asking us if she’s going to
be there because this year it will be her
22nd time at the show,” said Geoff.
“The sanctuary has been going to the
show for years and people like to know if
Dorothy is going to be there or not
because owls don’t normally live this
long in the wild, usually only until they
are about seven or eight.”
Geoff named Dorothy after the
Penistone Show secretary Dorothy Clegg
who has been overseeing the organisation of the annual agricultural show for
48 years.

Bad break:
Andrew
Appleyard
will be out for
at least three
months.

BAD BREAK FOR
STAR FLY-HALF
BARNSLEY RUFC suffered a huge blow on
the eve of their new
season when last
year’s top try-scorer
Andrew Appleyard
broke his leg in three
places in a friendly.
The freak accident
occurred as the Shaw
Laners beat local rivals
Wath as part of their
Family Fun Day.
The fly-half, who scored
15 tries on his way to more
than 150 points last season, is expected to be out
until at least January.
It is a major blow for the
town team.
After finishing one place
above the Yorkshire League
Two relegation zone last
season, Barnsley were looking good to improve on
that after several key signings.
Former England under 21
star Ed Norris was brought
in to play second row and
coach the forwards.
He has been joined by
returning stars Dave Reed,
Jo South, Scott Hinchcliffe
and Daryl Cheetham.
But head coach Mark
Smith said the injury has
been a real blow.
“To see anyone injured
like that is horrible. It really makes you feel sick when
it happens,” said Smith.
“It took the gloss off the
day.
“Apple is a rugby nut. He
has an infectious enthusiasm for the game and he is
a cracking player.
“It is a big loss going into
the new season but the
most important thing is
that he is all right.
“His leg is broken in three
places but the breaks seem
to have all aligned quite
nicely so hopefully he
won’t need an operation
and can be back playing
early next year.
“He will stay involved
with the selection as well
as the fund-raising and
social side of the club.”
The match was played
over three periods of 30

‘To see anyone injured
like that is horrible. It
really makes you feel
sick when it happens’

minutes with both sides
giving all their players a
run.
Before being taken to hospital, Appleyard scored the
opening try. Paddy Jenson
added the extras then
scored a converted try of
his own to make it 14-0.
Wath hit back when
Angel crossed under the
posts.
Hinchliffe will add plenty
of pace to the back line this
year and added a third try
soon after the restart.
Wath were in control for
much of the second period
and scored through Mason
and West to leave the
scoreline at 19-15 to the
